Ingredients
- 1 (11 ounce )bag tortilla chips
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 to 4 drops liquid smoke
- 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- pico de gallo or salsa, for serving
- guacamole, for serving
- sour cream, for serving
- Pickled onions, for serving
- fresh cilantro, for serving
- crumbled cotija cheese, for serving
chipotle ranch
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup milk
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can of chipotles
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives or 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to the highest setting. Lay down a double layer of foil - if you’d like, you can place it on a grill pan. If it’s not on a grill pan, create a lip around the foil by folding up the edges so the chips don’t slice off. Place the chips on top of the foil.
- In a bowl, toss the chicken with the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder and liquid smoke until it’s all coated.
- Cover the chips all over with the grated cheese and chicken. I usually do half the cheese, then the chicken, then the rest of the cheese. If you really love the ranch, you can do a drizzle here!
- Reduce the grill burners to medium. Place the foil or foil-covered grill pan of nachos directly on the grill. Close the lid and grill until the chips are warm and the cheese is all melted, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the foil or grill pan from the grill. Top with your favorite toppings - salsa or pico, guacamole, sour cream, pickled onions, etc. Drizzle all over with more chipotle ranch. Serve immediately!
chipotle ranch
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until pureed and combined. Store in the fridge in a sealed container. This lasts for about a week! It makes a lot, so feel free to cut the recipe in half if you don’t think you’ll use it up. It’s great on tacos too or any other chicken and vegetables!
